Forget that not-fast Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud was running. The situation — one-run Braves lead, two outs, bottom of the eighth — trumps all that. Atlanta held on to win, 3-2.

"Two out, man on third, not only does he make the play, but he makes an accurate throw to first base," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez told reporters. "Today, (winning pitcher Julio) Teheran should take him out to dinner because he saved him the win."

"It looks like he has no chance, and then in the last second, he just reaches for it and throws it," d'Arnaud said. "What a great play."

Even 1998 Derek Jeter would tip his cap in tribute to that throw. The same Derek Jeter who made plays like this:

And, because Wednesday's game was in New York, the writers in attendance did make the Jeter comp. And the Captain was found wanting.

Most in pressbox, even some NY writers, agreed he never made that play. RT @AustinGuinn: @DOBrienAJC Jeter dreams of making plays like that.
